Facing the stormAnd there's no one by my sideThe curse will take it's tollIs it justice or a foolish pride

As the wind is blowing coldAnd the winter takes controlHow can I survive

In higher lights we seem to drownWe hold the key but not the crownIn higher lights we seem to drownWe hold the key but not the crownLook into my eyes and seeFor all the wisdom I still bleedAnd only willow trees will bringOblivion

[chorus:]Haunted by the lust of my fatherRevenge is mine and down falls the kingdomConceived of his greed and a harsh realityHaunted by the lust of my fatherRevenge is mine and down falls the kingdomYour illgotten sonYour flesh and your blood

Faith fools the dayThe honest man will fail my donFacing another woundCan't hold back the stormSoon the winter reigns my heartWe're both caught in agony

In higher lights we seem to drownWe hold the key but not the crownOh I wish that I could turn backReach out for the grail and find itI would offer soul and lifeFeel the emptiness my dark son

[chorus:]Haunted by the lust of my fatherRevenge is mine and down falls the kingdomConceived of his greed and a harsh realityHaunted by the lust of my fatherRevenge is mine and down falls the kingdomThe sorrow he feels shall last forevermore

War will take place at dawnThere's no choice it's all fateI'm not strong enoughThe path lies clearly aheadThere's no way outCan't hold back all the greedAnd all the good deedsThey are pastThere's no choice it's all fateIt's so hopelessToo long I was blind

[chorus:]Haunted by the lust of my fatherRevenge is mine and down falls the kingdomConceived of his greed and a harsh realityHaunted by the lust of my fatherRevenge is mine and down falls the kingdomBy spilling our blood we are one boundForevermoreHaunted by the lust of my fatherRevenge is mine and down falls the kingdomConceived of his greed and a harsh reality
